How did I get here?If you're worried about the young woman, don't be. The sisters helped her and took care of her (like the sisters do here). More about the young woman later.
How did we end up abroad you might ask? Well, let me back up just a little..
We were living a wonderful life serving in the ministry in the Virginia Beach, Virginia area. Living in the good ol' US of A, life was good! Wide and easy roads, where almost everyone follows the traffic laws, a fantastic church, a great youth ministry for our kids, elders, deacons, great staff, best friends and my mom was even a disciple in our region, what could be better? Our kids were in top schools, we had beautiful green grass, a lovely neighborhood and we left our doors open without fear.
So how did we end up here in Trinidad and Tobago, a developing country with a murder rate at that time of 485? To put it in perspective, the country was ranked 13th that year for homicides placing us in a higher ranking than countries such as South Africa, Columbia, and the Congo, which normally have very high murder rates.
